Gaffney starting?

Hey my Fin brethern....I was wondering if anyone has heard if Gaffney will be starting this weekend. I have read that he is working with the 1's but havent heard about how hes doing or if he will be starting....or even on the field. Would be great to see Gaffney @1, Hartline @2, and Bess @3. GO FINZ!!!!

I think Gaffney's role will noticeable expand after the bye week. Until then, he will be eased into the game. In fact, we may not have a Gaffney sighting until the bye week has passed. He has to learn the O and RT has to get comfortable with him.

If he is not ready yet, I would put him in as a decoy to free up someone else. Otherwise, I am still holding out hope that Armstrong will start to contribute. I don't understand how he could have been so productive in Washington and then be absent here?

So far every 3/4 WR we've used has been little more than a decoy. It sounds like Gaffney will get a good amount of snaps. Not sure he knows the playbook well enough to move Bess back to the slot on a regular basis. At this point 2 or 3 receptions by Gaffney would be a great start.
